Opis

In this Element, we present Dutch Book arguments for the principles of Probabilism, Conditionalization, and the Reflection Principle, among others, and we formulate and consider the most serious objections to them. We show that degrees of belief that don't satisfy the principles will always guide action in some way that is bad or undesirable.

Recenzje

'If the book is of interest to academics across disciplines, it may also serve well those who enjoy leisurely gambling, and possibly future bookies.' Luc Lichtsteiner, Erasmus Journal for Philosophy and Economics
